Wow the alert row looks really stunning. A really good fit for the Virgo.
Ha. I immediately opened my set that’s been here a few days. Looks like all present and accounted for
That looks really nice on black. I’m going to have to try it out
Thanks! Yeah it came together even better than I thought it would on this board!
It slaps on your silver Gehrin too! I think this is one of those sets that will go good with most case colors. Also glad to hear your sets were right!
Indeed, fits really good as well!
Another question: What are the keycaps on the Hibi?
WS Purquiose
That board is crazy. Nothing else like it in my collection. Lubed MX Zilents in that Hibi case. Glorious thuddy thuds all day. It sounds like I’m tapping on the deskmat instead of a keyboard. It’s heavenly.
While I have been slowing down on expanding my artisan collection, there comes along something that can’t really be classified as an artisan keycap, but more like keyboard jewelry.
Crookey is usually to blame for that…
IG reels of the creation and making of:
Same! I tried it out on a few boards. So far I like red the best. But I still have to try black.
Looks nice on red, and it certainly is close to the same color as my CW88, but I’m thinking black or polycarbonate might be a winner for this one. I didn’t like it on gray, and silver was a bit “meh”
Sounds resinable.
Been super busy and not done much with keebs recently, but I got this deskmat in yesterday and am just too excited to not share
Under these conditions, would you say that the MX Ergo Clears advertised here (clear housing) are MX2A?
I don’t think those are MX2A since the one review mentions them being unlubed. While MX2As don’t feel lubed stock I seen the person opened them up & the glob of lube Cherry puts at the base of the stem well in MX2As is pretty unmissable. Here is the link to the only place I know that are selling MX2A ergo clears, but they’re stupid expensive at $1 per switch unfortunately.
Do they need to be Ergo Clears? GEON has a free international shipping event right now and a discount on MX2A switches (plus in-stock Ergo Clears). Would recommend MX Purples as these are discounted to 36 cents per switch right now and are exactly the same. You could even frankenswitch using nixies tops.
Thanks! Although I would prefer Ergo Clears, I have been meaning to pick up Purples to build for someone else.
So, together with MX2A Brown, that might be a reasonable order from Geon. Hope their Browns are fresh molds. If their springs are good, might order some 14mm too.
I love the play on the theme.
Got a lot of stuff but one thing that stood out was some Gateron Beer tactiles. I think I love these switches. I don’t know why.
This switch: Light spring, tactile (light), and shortened travel
My preference: medium spring, linear, full travel.
But I like them a lot. Might solder them in stock.
Gateron (Oil) Mini i are similar in design.
Most people like Gateron Beer, but I personally prefer the snappiness and crispness of Mini i.
